Pissing in the woods!

[calmcat]

My first dive master favorite saying was: "There are two types of scuba divers: those, who peeing in the wetsuit and those who lying about it".

I've seen no evidence that does or bucks care. Some say it even attracts them to the spot.

I do know for a fact that porcupines are attracted to urine, apparently for the salt, and of course deer like salt too. Still, I would set out salt and not urine.

I wouldn't worry about pissing in the woods however sitting in your treestand and watching your iPhone that would spook game more than some piss.

But wait,
There’s a huge variety of products available to mask your scent.
Detergents, sprays, even special clothing!!

Is that all just marketing!?

Pretty much.

Apparently my tone was not sarcastic enough.

I have always felt that deer rely on three things (scent, sight, and sound) to avoid me and if I give them any two at once they are gone.

I don't mask my scent with anything or use detergents or special fabrics but I do hunt the wind. sometimes.

I was discussing this very topic about 25 or 30 years ago with a cousin of mine, after I told him about making a mock scrape on a tree farm and the same night having it tore right up by deer.
He told told me he chews Copenhagen in his stand and had no problem shooting buck right on top of where he peed and spit LOL.
We both agreed that you can try and do whatever you want , masking your scent is not going to happen.

Watched an old hunting video. Guy came with a masson jar full of fresh piss. He dumped it on his decoy and managed to shootva buck right beside it a couple hours later

I think I saw the same video, was that Fred Trost from Michigan Outdoors?

Not only I piss in the wood, but I take dump too and I cook and have a fire, cause when we go moose hunting we are out at least for 3-4 days up to 10 days… that’s a long time to hold it…

If you do piss in the woods don’t forget to turn around and kick some dirt on the spot, my dog does this, I assume there is a reason.

It releases a scent from the pads and marks his spot

Yup, thermos of coffee , sandwiches, snacks.

6am to roughly 5pm is a long day in the stand without food or drink.

There is a youtube video of a guy that sets up a mock scrape on a trail and pees on it. It definately attraction of bucks.

Just to be safe:

Pee in a cup and drink it immediately before the Deer get the chance to smell it.

You be chillin' and Gryllin'

Just spit my coffee out

s.o.p.
kick a hole, add #1 or #2, replace your divot
Its just courtesy to cover a dump site

Scent-free products are the biggest scam of the hunting industry. The wind is the only scent-free product you need. If they can smell your pee, which they don't care about, they can smell you. Piss away.

That's right, especially during the frantic rut. Doe's want to be bred and bucks want to breed, they pay very little heed to danger.

I did a test once .... I set up a trail camera over a big buck scrape and I peed into that scape on several occasions.
The result was that it even attracted the bucks .... they went more wildly at that scrape ... and the frequency increased.

My conclusion: human pee is an attractant for bucks and not a deterrent!!

What the heck? We can use ‘pissing’ but get edited out when I use ‘co*k a firearm’?

Funny read nonetheless. !
